Get some clever upcycled cardboard ideas!

I had an idea to create a card that shows the transformation from winter to spring. Growing up in South Africa, I remember every winter they would set fire to the bushveld. I was told it made the grass grow better in the spring/summer. But I'm not sure if this was the actual reason. Anyway, the front of this card is meant to depict the dry, deadness of winter. I heat embossed the dandelion frame on dictionary paper, I then used my heat gun to burn the paper. I also added extra distressing with distress inks. I then sprayed it with gold pearl water to add some golden shimmer.....to be continued on the next photo ;)

creating Junk journals, vintage ephemera, one of a kind embellis

This journal was created using the Letters & Postcards printable kit from My Porch Prints Visit My Porch Prints on Etsy for beautiful printables for your Junk Journal What To Do With A Junk Journal Maybe you've heard of junk journals? (Click here for a beginner's tutorial.) They are these cool, beautiful handmade books created from bits of discarded "junk"... things like receipts, old book pages & papers, doilies and other ephemera. Some are made of fabric, some of paper, old grocery bags, file folders, cereal boxes. If you spend any time on Pinterest, YouTube or Instagram, you have to agree these junk journal things are beautiful! But what do you DO with them? I once asked the same question. And I think anyone with an interest in creating these pretty journals is probably wondering the same thing. Well, here are a few ideas for what you might do with a junk journal: Diary/Journal The most obvious use, at least to me, is to make a good old fashioned journal. Record your thoughts and feelings in the pretty tea-dyed pages. Created using the Mysterious Woman Journal Kit from My Porch Prints Art Journal/Sketch Book If you make junk journals, you probably already have an interest in art on some level. Why use blank white pages when you can sketch and draw out your ideas in a book that is already creative and inspiring? Lavender Layered Journal Cover Memory Book/Photo Album Gather pictures of that new baby, or postcards and letters from your grandparents, or just memories of your friendship through the years... concert tickets, receipts, fun memories scribbled on tags or bits of coffee-dyed paper. What a pretty collection of memories & photos! Created using the Letters & Postcards Journal Kit Travel Journal Go on an adventure, and take a junk journal with you! Fill those pockets with ticket stubs, luggage tags, that weird candy you ate in Nepal? Save the wrapper! You'll never forget that memory. That postcard from Florida? That train ticket to Paris? Each bit of "junk" from your journeys can be saved as a memory. And don't forget a few Polaroid photos, too! Created using the World Traveler Scrap Pack Art/Collectible You hang pictures on your wall, you decorate your shelves with boxes & knick-knacks... why can't a journal be a piece of art in your home? Fill up a bookshelf with journals of every theme! Place one on your coffee table as an interesting conversation piece. Fill it with the things you love, and your guests can get to know you as they flip through its pages. Created using Fairy Tale Journal Kit & Fairy Tale Mini Books Wedding Guest Book Perfect for a vintage, woodland or other themed wedding. The junk journal guest book can be themed to match! And guests can write not only their names, but also well-wishes and memories for the happy couple. Neutral Wedding Guest Book Kit Prayer Journal Record your prayers and favorite Bible passages. Draw a picture to go with what you've read. Your time with God can take on a new creativity, reflecting the talents he's blessed you with! Scripture Scraps Printable Botanical Journal/ Field Guide You love nature. Your garden. Your walks. Pluck a few flowers or leaves and preserve them in your journal! Find out their names or properties. Or draw pictures of what you see... be it bird, bug or beast. Botanical Wax Paper Bag Journal Letters & Postcards Journal Flip-Thru Video Day Planner Keep your chaotic life in check.

Crafters Planner Kit Recipe Journal Whether it's your great-grandma's homemade noodles or that cake pop you loved from Pinterest... pictures and ingredients combine to create a recipe journal! Make it kitchen themed with images of vintage 50s appliances. Or food themed with scrumptious cakes, tea & desserts!
